You finally decided to live on the road. You're planning either a 1 month, a 6 month, or hell, maybe even full-time?! Great! Now WHERE do you start? WHAT do you even begin to research?! WHAT does your finances looks like or the home you choose to live in? These are the questions I got hit with when I embarked on a 6-month National Park road trip across the US.

I've been going on road trips or long drives ever since I was 8 years old. I used to sit in the backseat of our green Chevrolet while my dad drove to Mexico, Canada, and Florida. I love everything there is about an adventure on the road. You're not limited to anything and can travel to any destination you please. Forget about being stuffed in a crowded airplane or missing out experiencing a small local town on your way to a National Park. Instead, fill up your gas tank, turn up the music, and choose a new place where you'll sleep under the stars. This is my definition of freedom, one I KNOW you believe in too.
